Can You Step on the Go Power Flex Solar Panels?

Question

Question:

I want to mount solar on the roof of our 30ft Class C. However - I need to be able to get to all edges on the RV for maintenance reasons. So my question would be: Are those flexible panes tough enough to carry the weight of an average person? Thanks.

Hey Clarence. There's no way to look at a tire or wheel and tell if it's a 5 on 4-1/2 or a 5 on 5 but you can take a real quick measurement to figure it out. If you'll look at the picture below you'll see a wheel with a red line on…

Hey Jon, Most trailer wheel and tire combos - like the Kenda Karrier #KE69JV - do not come pre-balanced. Typically, trailer owners don’t worry about balancing since trailers don’t ride as smoothly as passenger vehicles and you’re not feeling that…

Answer 11

Since both a ST145/R12 size tire, like the Kenda Karrier S-Trail #AM10130, and a 5.30-12 size tire, like the Kenda K353 #AM10068, fit a 12 inch wheel, a ST145/R12 size tire can replace a 5.30-12 size tire. Keep in mind that these tires do have…
